Setting up engaging learning invitations at this time of year is pretty easy. You just need to add a couple of Easter props to each learning area and your students will magically be drawn in to explore and investigate the areas further.
Easter Learning Invitation Props
You don’t need to spend a lot of money on Easter props for your investigation areas. Here are a few that are cheap and easy to find. You probably have a few of these already in your school or around your home.
I have designed a set of Easter vocabulary cards you can download for FREE from my resource library HERE. In this set there are 16 lovely Easter vocab cards you can put to use in your classroom this Easter.
How To use The Easter Vocab Cards
Cut out the cards and place them in a small basket at your writing center or investigation area.
Leave the cars as A4 posters and display them on the wall of your Easter themed learning center or investigation area.
Use them as writing and drawing prompts for explicit teaching lessons.
Use the cards as a writing stimulus for a small group in literacy rotations.
Print and cut out 2 sets of the vocab cards for your children to play card games like memory and snap.
Place a few sets in your makerspace for children to use in their Easter themed creations.
Use the cards as labels for items in your dramatic play space or home corner.
Use the vocab cards as an Easter display on your classroom door.
Easter Writing Prompts
Writing prompts specifically designed around the children’s current interests are the perfect way to motivate writing in your classroom.
These fabulous Easter writing prompts have been designed for kindergarten to grade 3. You can use them to build your student’s writing fluency and give them writing practice in a variety of genres.
Your young writers will write all about the Easter bunny and Easter eggs. There are prompts included to get your students writing creative and factual stories, a letter, a recount, lists, instructions, and poems. There’s a good variety with plenty of Easter themed prompts and ideas to encourage even your most reluctant writers.
Many of the writing prompts in this resource only require short responses, or lists of words, and some incorporate drawing into the prompt. These features make them great for encouraging reluctant or beginning writers. To encourage your beginning writers, place the focus on drawing and writing and not on perfect grammar or proper sentences.
Of course, grammar and sentence structure can be the focus if you have confident and capable writers in your class. These confident writers will love the challenge and varied topics these writing prompts can offer them.
The writing prompts in this set will be delivered to you in 3 ways. There are 28 Easter Writing Prompt Task Cards and the same set of prompts in a PowerPoint presentation in case you would like to save on printing and display a prompt on the big screen.
There’s also a set of the same 28 Easter writing Prompts designed as reproducible worksheets. You can choose the delivery method best suited to your curriculum planning and class activities as all 3 sets are included in this one resource pack.
There are a couple of extra lined Easter writing paper you can use if you have students that like to write longer, more detailed responses. These Easter themed pages are also great to add to the clipboards in your investigation areas. Having writing paper available at each investigation area is the best way to encourage purposeful writing.
The Easter themed lined pages can also be used to create your own writing prompts with ideas you know your kids will love.
When To use The Easter Writing Prompts
At independent writing time
For creative and story journal writing
A writer's workshop session
At writing centers and investigation areas
During small group literacy rotations
For homework
As morning work
For fast finishers
Included as pages in Easter booklets
As an added bonus, I have also included a cute Easter vocabulary mat. This can be used as an easy writing reference or display poster at any investigation area, not just at your writing center.
I know your students will love these fun Easter writing prompts but remember, you don’t need a lot of Easter printables to get your students engaged and learning this Easter. A couple of Easter themed props at each investigation area is all you really need.
